with surface antibodies for CD19, CD20, CD3, CD8, CD4, CD56 and CD11c (clones
HIB19, 2H7, HIT3a, RPA-T8, RPA-T4, HCD56, and 3.9, respectively, Biolegend) and
an intracellular stain for the transcription factor FoxP3 (clone PCH101,
Ebioscence) for Figure 1 and for CD19, CD20, CD21, CD69, CD27 and HLA-DR (clones HIB19, 2H7, HB5, FN50, O323, and L243,
respectively, Biolegend and Ebioscience) for Figs. 2 and 3. Positive and negative
controls for staining were PBLs from patients or control donors, lymphocytes
from control donor spleens, lymphocytes from control (disease-free) lungs,
lymphocytes from NSCLC pleural metastases, and PBL from untreated,
HIV+ patients. Flow cytometry was conducted using an LSR
II (BD Biosciences) and data were analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star,
Inc.). For Fig. 2B, total lymphocyte infiltration was calculated using the following equation: [Total cell
number from tissue X % lymphocyte gate X % lymphocyte
population, i.e. CD19+]/ [mass of tissue in
grams].
